$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=8cm,clip]{9703fig1.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 1: The grid structure of the nine levels of refinement, shown for the entire computational domain ( left) and around the accreting WD ( right). While the coarser grids of levels 1 through 6 are fixed in space, the meshes of levels 7 through 9 follow the WD. The RG is shown in red, the accreting WD in blue.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=8.1cm,clip]{9703fig2.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 2: Density structure during the accretion phase. Shown is density (logarithmic scale, g/cm³) in the orbital plane (xy-plane, left), and in a plane perpendicular to the orbit (yz-plane, right) for the entire computational domain (10¹⁵ cm a side, top) and a zoom around the accreting WD ( $\approx$ 10¹³ cm a side, bottom). Self-interacting high-density spirals dominate the inner region up to a few times the binary separation. The RG is shown in red, the WD in blue.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[height=4.1cm,width=8cm,clip]{9703fig3.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 3: Density profiles along radial rays originating from the WD. Bold colored lines denote rays in the orbital plane along the x- and y-coordinate axes, the RG being located in the negative x-direction (-x green; +x magenta; -y blue; +y red). Perpendicular, green bold lines denote the position of the RG. The bold black line is in a poleward direction ( $+90^{\circ }$ ), thin grey lines belong to an inclination of $60^{\circ }$ and positive and negative x- and y-directions, respectively.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=7.8cm,clip]{9703fig4.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 4: Density structure of the nova remnant. Shown are density (logarithmic scale, g/cm³) and velocity (cm/s) in the orbital plane (xy-plane, left) and in a plane perpendicular to the orbit (yz-plane, right) at 29 h ( top panels) and 21 days ( bottom panels) after explosion. The RG is shown in red, the WD in blue.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[height=4.1cm,width=7.3cm,clip]{9703fig5.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 5: Time evolution of outer shock position relative to the WD. Bold colored lines belong to directions within the orbital plane (green: toward the RG or $+90^{\circ }$ ; blue: toward the trailing spiral of the WD or $0^{\circ }$ ; magenta: away from the RG or $-90^{\circ }$ ; red: in direction of the orbital motion or $-180^{\circ }$ ). The bold black line denotes the poleward direction. Thin lines belong to directions within the orbital plane, into the trailing accretion wake of the WD ( $50^{\circ }$ to $60^{\circ }$ , solid black to gray lines) and out of the system ( $-35^{\circ }$ , dashed orange line).
